OMG! I'm afraid to take this medication, after reading all of your posts! I got an infection in my left knee from falling onto the concrete side walk. and the on-call doc. prescribed it 4x a day 500mg. I think I'll wait to see my own dr. this Friday. I am allergic to pen.G and sulfa. I don't think the on-call doc knows this. better to be safe then sorry. thanks for all your informative posts! I love this forum! L.

Don't take Cephalexin if you can avoid it. I took 2/3 of my meds. for an infected bee sting. I had slight nausea, and intestinal issues but the most concerning side effect is uncomfortably strong heart beats and heart flutters/racing. Also, a am very anxious and nervous. Even though I haven't taken any meds for a week the symptms are not going away. I am scheduled for a physical in a couple of days. I am hoping to get more info then. In hindsight, the best results I have ever had from doctors were Naturpaths. After my physical I am going to establish a Naturepathic doc as my regular doc.
If anyone else has experienced Cephalexin causing irregular heart beats please reply. Take care. Diane.
